Shawne Williams began the day in a Nets uniform for a morning shootaround, and ended the day in a prison jumpsuit as a guest of the Shelby County (Tenn.) department of corrections.

The team waived Williams early Friday afternoon. Just hours later, Williams, acquired in the Eduardo Najera-Kris Humphries deal Monday, turned himself in to authorities in his native Memphis and was indicted by a Shelby County grand jury on eight counts — four involving possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, four involving conspiracy to sell.

According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Williams had been one of 24 defendants targeted for a long time by the Memphis Police Department as part of its “Operation: Lockdown” investigation.

The Nets, who had him in their employ for less than four days, seemed relieved.

“We brought him in to take a look at him — way out of shape, didn’t like what we saw,” Nets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe said. “He said he had to go home for some type of medical emergency — for his grandfather, or something like that. We sort of made a decision at that time that this wasn’t going to work.

“We hope he’s OK, we wish him well, but ... you know, luckily, not our issue.”Chris Douglas-Roberts is miffed that some of his remarks in the media and on his Twitter account are being used against him by fans.

“It’s just been love-hate since I’ve been here,” the wing said. “That’s just how I feel. Earlier on, I wasn’t going to be anything. Then the season started, I was loved. Now that they hear or read a story that they really don’t know what’s true or not, now it’s, ‘Get rid of him.’ ”

“That doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is people (not) knowing what I meant. It’s really a lose-lose when it comes to what I say.”

“I read the comments,” Vandeweghe said. “I think he wants to win, he’s a competitive guy. I didn’t see any negativity in his actual comments.”

The Nets had a special guest Friday night: Sean Goldman, the nine-year-old from Tinton Falls who was the subject of a five-year, international custody dispute between his father and his late mother’s family in Brazil, where Sean had lived since 2004. He attended the game with his dad, David, who brought the boy home Dec. 28.

The Nets also had an unwanted guest Friday night: The formidable Daniel Goldstein, the last holdout among those living in the footprint of the Atlantic Yards project, brought a group of eight protesters to the game.Dave D'Alessandro may be reached at ddalessandro@starledger.com
